Introduction

Interoute Virtual Data Centre is the only European-based cloud provider certified for the Red Hat® Cloud Access programme. You can migrate your unused Red Hat license subscriptions to VDC and enjoy high-performance cloud computing with the power and reliability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, backed by 24/365 Red Hat support for your virtual machines in the VDC cloud.

This document describes how to register your Red Hat licenses for use with the Interoute VDC cloud platform.

Important

Your license agreement remains with Red Hat (according to these terms) and all enquiries about your Red Hat licenses must be submitted to Red Hat customer support.

Deploy Red Hat virtual machines in VDC

Virtual machines can be deployed by importing your existing virtual machine images to VDC, or by importing an ISO source for Red Hat and deploying new virtual machines.

Important

You should not use the standard Red Hat templates available in VDC, or deploy Red Hat machines from the CloudStore website, because these will be billed as new Red Hat licences (paid monthly via Interoute), and they cannot be covered by the Cloud Access programme.
